Beachwalk Blocks 1-3

I’ve made a bit more progress on the Beachwalk quilt, and I’m loving it more and more. Here is block 1 with block 2 now appliqued on the other side (the block still needs trimming):

Oh, you’d like a picture without a giant cat on it? Well, so would I. Guess we’ll all have to learn to live with disappointment.

It is necessary to clean one’s toes while one’s mother is attempting to trace shapes. Or have a kitten party.

Except I guess they aren’t kittens anymore, since Nina turns one in a couple weeks. *sniff* I think like Zoom, though, she’s going to retain her kitten-ness for the rest of her life since she’s only about 7 1/2 – 8 pounds.

After shooing the cats off, I finished block 3 as well:

It measures 10 x 33″, and has lots of satifyingly chubby sandpipers. The next block has about a bazillion crabs crawling all over a sandcastle.
